I've just disabled downloading from a few public relays, and the spam is basically gone.

If you're using Amethyst and struggling with spam, the ⬇️ (down arrow button) below each relay is clickable.

#Amethyst 

 I removed them completely but this would make more sense for reach. Upload to them but never download.

 Yeah, makes sense
